Requires you to create an online account with them prior to launching. I deleted it immediately. If they want to do this, guys... Make it a web app not a iOS app.

Clunkiest system ever! Won’t allow Touch ID. Logs you out after a very short time of inactivity. Can’t make private notes. When reading a script, I make notes about anything and everything that comes to mind without editing my thoughts and a lot of those thoughts are too stupid to share. Scriptation is such a better tool for filmmakers!

I’m trying to sign up to access my sides and it’s not working!!

I’ll second the review that said this app is an absolute inconvenience to actors who are auditioning. We need to share the script with a reader. I’d rather sign an NDA than deal with the hurdles of this app. It is such a headache!

I know on some people’s reviews they say they are frustrated with the app because files expire and get revoked about screen captures, but that’s the point of this app. As a sender I love it. I feel safe knowing my documents are secure.

I have less of an issue with the workings of this app than with its existence. When used for auditions it creates a series of headaches for actors. For example: you can only download sides once, on one device, and they self destruct after a set amount of time or if you try to capture them. But an audition requires two sets of sides, one for the actor and one for the reader. Every time I have to download this app I look forward to deleting it again.

I can’t tell you about the app cause I can’t access it. When i reached out for help on how to use their APP by email all i got was short one sentence replies. I did finally find a phone number for them (310) 684-3968 which was hard to track down. It was then explained to me that they don’t give customer support. If your going to make a product that doesn’t work for everyone then you should be available to help those customers.

Overall great app for scripts and work.

I only have 20 pages of a script left and this piece of garbage app crashes constantly.

This is a frustrating garbage app that ruined an interview for me because I couldn’t get the file sent to me to open. It took me at least a half hour just to open an account.
